According to the White House, the council—headed by Trump—will operate under the U.S. plan to end the war in Gaza. Two other bodies have also been established alongside it: a Palestinian technocrats’ committee to temporarily manage Gaza, and an “Executive Council,” which will likely play an advisory role.
The White House confirmed that the Peace Council will address issues such as enhancing administrative capacity, regional relations, reconstruction, attracting investment, large-scale financing, and capital flows to rebuild Gaza after a two-year war.
